The here is now

[thetworegs]

Well Reg got to thinking about life and the circus that surrounds it ....Thanks for listening

Now roll up roll up people for the free show
The truth is what you want it to be
So start thinking
The here is now

Do what you can, be what you want to be
Surprise all the people around you
Show them who's, beneath that mask
Look down deep be truthful who you are 

Life's too short for regret
Yesterday does not exist
The future isn't here yet
Its only the now, that matters anyway
Its only the now, that matters anyway


Be yourself ,don't worry who's in the lead
Don't bother looking around, everyone is in need
Everyone has different that need
You can be anything
you've just got to want to be
Life's too short to regret
The future isn't here yet 

roll up roll up
Welcome to life's little circus
You can be what you want to be
Once you realise you can let yourself go

You fear what may happen , you question what's already done
You fear about tomorrow while regretting...yesterday
while regretting.... yesterday

Life's too short for regret
Yesterday does not exist
The future isn't here yet 
Its only the now, that matters anyway
Its only the now, that matters anyway

You have fears about your future will you succeed
Will you be a failure, will your life go to seed
Will you be a down and out living life in need

Well Life's too short to regret
Yesterday does not exist
The future isn't here yet 
Its only the now, that matters anyway
Its only the  now,  that matters anyway

So stop thinking and start living
The time to live is now 
Success is living living in the now
Living in the now
 
Life's too short to regret
Yesterday does not exist today
The future isn't here yet 
Its only the now that matters anyway
Its only the  now that matters anyway

OUAH...I read the translation of the lyrics it's powerful the general atmosphere of the song is a bit oppressive but it goes well with the text
bravo Nigel

f ing aye as they say!!!!

I love this right here "roll up roll up
Welcome to life's little circus
You can be what you want to be
Once you realise you can let yourself go"

I wanted to be a worm one night at a bar, and so I did... but I wasn't even drunk, but people thought I was... but that is what happens when you try and live this way... even now I am cracking up in belly laughter thinking about the implications of this song and applying it... wicked great song but I actually thought at first that this was Bluesberry... has his vocal style...

Mr Regs telling like it is! You've managed to paint quite the picture with such a few strokes.

What i'm really wondering here is that: how hard it was to get Louis Armstrong to sing this?

Great one Trev, I heard this a few days back but forgot to comment. This is a fine listen, love the sentiment and the lyrics. General vibe is cool and yes sir that Louis Armstrong delivery is great to hear.
